What is a 'gusher bearing' and why is it important?

A gusher bearing is a metal-to-metal design that allows grease to flow through the bearing surface. This continuous lubrication helps reduce friction and wear, leading to a longer lifespan for the tie rod end.

Does this tie rod end come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This product is the inner tie rod end itself. It's recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult a professional to confirm all required hardware for your specific vehicle's steering system.

How often should I grease this tie rod end?

Since this socket is greaseable, it's best to grease it during regular maintenance intervals or whenever you perform other steering and suspension work. This helps flush out contaminants and maintain proper lubrication.

Product Details

The MOOG ES727 inner tie rod end uses a patented gusher bearing design. This metal-to-metal setup lets grease flow through the bearing surface, which helps reduce friction and extend its life. It's a well-built part designed to restore your vehicle's steering to how it felt when it was new. This tie rod end fits a wide range of classic Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles from the mid-60s to early-70s, including models like the Ford LTD, Mercury Monterey, and Ford Country Squire.

Beyond the gusher bearing, this tie rod end also incorporates a Belleville preload washer. This feature is key for absorbing shock loads, preventing spring bind, and reducing the chance of shattering during impacts. The ball stud is heat-treated to meet or exceed original equipment requirements, which helps prevent premature failure and improves fatigue strength. Plus, the socket is greaseable, allowing you to flush out contaminants with fresh lubricant, further reducing corrosion and wear.

MOOG engineers put these parts through rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance. The precision tolerances mean it fits right out of the box, making installation and steering alignment straightforward. If you're working on the steering linkage for your classic Ford or Mercury, this tie rod end is a solid option for getting your car back on the road with confident handling.
